I care about one thing: Beating Trump. If Joe Biden or any other candidate drinks Chateau Lafitte out of a diamond-studded golden goblet and drives a gold-plated Rolls to the airport to board his very own Airbus A-380 for a trip to the French Riviera with Goldman Sachs executives, but can still beat Trump, I don't care.

best selling authors. I don't expect that from the current White House occupants. Their base doesn't read.

Not sure I understand your point.

I am sure Biden's campaign didn't have to buy the books to make it a bestseller. Biden's book was naturally popular.
